9But Tobias fearing God more than the king, carried off the bodies of them that were slain, and hid them in his house, and at midnight buried them.

10Now it happened one day that being wearied with burying, he came to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept,

11And as he was sleeping, hot dung out of a swallow's nest fell upon his eyes, and he was made blind.

12Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job.

13For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of blindness had befallen him,

14But continued immoveable in the fear of God, giving thanks to God all the days of his life.

1Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

7The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

8His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

9He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him:

18The eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know what the hope is of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

13And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians: that they should catch him in his words.

14Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar? Or shall we not give it?

15Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? Bring me a penny that I may see it.

16And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's.

17And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
